I'm sorry but I share the sentiments of Eric. He has helped me a lot of times and to so many people who are trying to learn VFP. Eric has been a blessings to many and I thank God he continues to share his knowledge. Please Mr. Lutgerink, be careful of the terms you use, then perhaps others, especially novices like me, will begin to appreciate your ideas.
